Common Research questions
How do I know what Research I need next?+−
Choose the machine, Research or unlock you want. The planner lists the required Research, Gold cost, progression gates and special milestones in the order that actually blocks that target.
Why is Research still locked when I have enough Gold?+−
Gold is only one requirement. Some unlocks also need a progression stage or an Aura Crystal threshold before the Research can be started.
Does every Research tree connection mean a required prerequisite?+−
Not every visible relationship in a Research tree should be treated as the same kind of requirement. The Planner focuses on the Research, progression and special milestones that actually block the selected unlock.
How do Aura Research unlocks work?+−
Aura unlocks such as Prismite Well depend on Crystal milestones, not Gold. Track Crystal progress on the Aura page, then return here to see what is still required.
Can the Planner check Blueprint Research requirements?+−
Yes. Open a Blueprint in the Inspector and plan missing Research. The planner merges shared requirements so Gold and Research are not counted twice.
